I agree with this. A very good episode throughout.

Didn't know this was a thing:

Quite interesting to watch and there is a sneak preview of the Stinger v Bronco match in there halfway through, too.

[Shinkioh]

Overdrive noooooooo. Let's be honest. Those wheelguards are such a bad idea. When they're bent, they **** over the drive. Now Team Inertia Labs got it right in comparison.

And just like a predator, Tombstone toyed with its prey before striking for the kill.

Well, something broke inside Lockjaw. Back to the drawing board for ya, Donald. I'm sure Lockjaw will come back as the fourth coming of Diesector. (Karcas 2 and Root Canal were the other comings)

Two of the bots I look forward to seeing happen to be fighting each other. Sad that Hypershock was not working well. It had a lot of potential. So unlike Original Sin, Biteforce has different plows for certain spinners. Warhead sure scratched that wedge a lot than we thought.

For the upcoming matchups I speculate this.

Witch Doctor & Shaman vs Tombstone - Anyone can win this fight. It's hard to tell.
Overhaul vs Bite Force - Although I'm not a big fan of Overhaul, it definitely has the speed and power to pierce the treads of Bite Force. Overhaul won't try to overwhelm Bite Force in pushing, it will LACERATE them with its pincer. However, Bite Force will for once use its clamp here no doubt. It could go either way.
Ghost Raptor vs Icewave - Chuck better use that scoop he has equipped Preda Raptor in the past to be able to fight this beast here. But it's a test of endurance here.
Stinger vs Bronco - The fight I'm REALLY looking forward to. I expect their clash to be reminiscent of Sewer Snake's bout with Ziggy back in 2006.

The quarter finals are gonna be explosive though.

I was happy with 3 of the 4 matches, it was a good week.

Two of my favourite builders out, really entertaining and powerful drum burns out. Not my favourite episode.

I'm predicting Tombstone, Stinger, IceWave, and LockJaw to win their fights.

[Cody Furlong]

It will be interesting to see if Tombstone & Icewave end up in the finals against one another. Tombstone's blade seems to be lower than Icewave's, so he'd be able to actually hit the Icewave's body. But Ice wave's blade seems to be in good postion to just get in there, and hit the chain / support axel, and take out Tombstone's weapon.

[Natef]

Still really bummed that Sweet Revenge didn't get a chance to show itself. It always sucks when a bot straight up can't work, even if it isn't yours.

[Resetti's Replicas]

Yeah, hopefully the deleted fight footage will come with a test video of them smashing up some crates or something

HURRAY FOR TEH WITCH DOCTOR AND SHAMAN XD

[Probably Rob]

That Molly is a person I really really like

[G.K.]

I'd edit that post if I were you Rob, that's quite strong language :P

[Mr. AS]

Thanks for the moderation craaig.

But yeah, Ghost Raptor could very well cause an upset if Icewave catches on fire again like it did in it's first fight. I wouldn't count on it, but it could happen.

[Philippa]

That Molly is a right BLOOP

She's not that bad. Ray from Tombstone is, though.

[090901]

That Molly is blonde

She's not that bad. Ray from Tombstone is, though.

[Jonzu95]

I like someones mum

She's not that bad. Ray from Tombstone is, though.

you mad

[cephalopod]

I feel like some people are mistaking acting for the cameras as real life. You can't act all nicey-nice when you're doing stuff like that

[Thyrus]

Doesn't smell like plastic to me...

. You mean the guy who asks the other team for permission to keep hitting their robots after they're dead?  Yeah total bloop.  Who's Molly, and did she kill your dog or insult your mother or something?
